Explanation:
The Rakhmabai case of 1884 revolved around the issues of the age of consent and restitution of conjugal rights. Rukhmabai, a child bride married at the age of eleven, was involved in a landmark legal battle initiated by her husband seeking "restitution of conjugal rights." The case lasted for four years and led to an out-of-court settlement in 1888. The case played a significant role in the drafting of the Age of Consent Act in 1891, which addressed the issue of child marriage.
